Abstract

A low-cost, environmentally acceptable approach of plastic biodegradation is something that this research study intends to investigate. One of the main environmental concerns is plastic garbage, and conventional disposal techniques like landfilling and incineration have shown to be ineffective and damaging to the environment. A viable alternative to disposal is biodegradation, in which waste plastic is broken down into harmless components by microbes. The study will look into many aspects of the biodegradation process, such as temperature, moisture level, and the kind of plastic utilised. The efficiency of several microorganisms in degrading the polymers will be evaluated, and the ideal biodegradation circumstances will be found. By estimating the cost of production and contrasting it with conventional disposal options, the study will also look at the method's economic viability. This technique's potential for expansion for industrial usage will also be investigated. The results of this investigation will aid in the creation of a long-term plastic waste management strategy and assist in minimizing the negative environmental effects of plastic trash. In our research study we collected various waste materials from different sources and subjected to microbial degradation and detected waste degradation using ecofriendly methods.
